a. Am I willing to do the WORK, to make the SACRIFICES and take the RISKS which are required to get what I SAY I WANT?
I remember when my son Tim was around 13 years old and I had to tell him to mow the lawn every week? I'm like "Tim, you're 13 years old buddy, you need to grow up and do this without your dad having to ask you weekly."
The question is ... "As adults are we any better than Tim was?" Do we have to be told to time block 15 minutes or whatever the time is to do something in our role? Do we need our mom (Mark or someone else like a 4 year old) asking us if we know our role and know what to do and are doing it?
When will I grow up and learn to SEE that there are some skills and disciplines that I need to acquire or maybe just do it to help others around me?
